In his first appearance after sitting out three games with an ankle sprain, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson injured his right thumb during the opening quarter against the Buffalo Bills, according to NBC Sports and Fox Sports. Both outlets reported that the injury occurred on Jackson's first pass attempt, after which he promptly exited the field for medical assessment.
Following Jackson's departure, the Ravens ruled him out for the remainder of the contest and turned to reserve quarterback Tyler Huntley, who had previously gone 1-2 during Jackson's earlier three-game absence, according to both reports.
Fox Sports reported that Buffalo went on to defeat Baltimore 36-10, dropping the Ravens' record to 4-4. Following the matchup, head coach Jesse Minter announced that Jackson will undergo thumb surgery, be placed on injured reserve, and could potentially miss the rest of the year, according to Fox Sports. The outlet also reported that Huntley was later sidelined in the second quarter by a toe injury, forcing rookie Joe Fagnano into the game.
